American Dream Awakes

Are we ‘living the American Dream’?

Not so much. But having  just published a new effort at Lim’s Limericks, I thought you might want to check it out (or not!)

Written in verse, it concerns America’s past and present with the current, ongoing, and difficult Saturn-to-Neptune transit which now brings harsh reality to our door and sombers hopes and dreams - ramped up by Pluto’s recent entry into Capricorn, sign of the USA’s natal Pluto:

sign petition: Paulson must go

Hank (the fox) may have already run away with the squawking chicks and the wolf with the golden goose but you may wish to sign the Paulson Must Go petition anyway:

And here’s a link to Lim’s Limericks which has Adriano Carelli’s symbol for ’25 Scorpio’: “A Wolf Carrying Away a Goose” along with an article link concerning the Fed’s declining influence and the IMF’s “x-ray” scrutiny of Ben Bernanke:

The IMF report that’s supposed to be due about Fed actions and non-actions will not be released until….wait for it…..Bush is out of office.

You guessed, didn’t you?!

A Wolf Carrying Away a Goose

And that may be the Golden Goose represented in this symbol by Adriano Carelli from his ’360 Degrees of the Zodiac’ for 25 Scorpio:

There’s a difference between Palin and Dan Quayle

Well, it’s been hours now, and McCain’s pick of Alaska Governor Sara Palin on Friday is apparently no joke after all.

Robert J. Elisberg has written an insightful article on Sara Palin’s qualifications for national office and on John McCain’s choice of ‘The Worst Vice-Presidential Nominee in U.S. History’:

As Elisberg notes, Dan Quayle was a sitting senator when tapped. And Gov. Palin voted against polar bears and supports oil drilling in ANWR.

But fascinating as Sara Palin as VP may seem, there’s one thing I’ve always noted to myself (since nothing in politics happens by accident):

when they divert all eyes toward one direction, we should pay more attention to where they’re NOT pointing. For that may just be where the real shell game is being played.

Here’s a limerick scratched in the litter box of Mr.A.Cat from July 2006, ‘Alaska’:

Mr.A. doesn’t think well of corrupt political thespians so it’s a wonder he follows Politics at all!

Cat limericks Obama’s overseas tour

At last! Mr. A. Cat has gotten through to us at Lim’s Limericks with a freshly scratched limerick which seems to apply to Barack Obama’s recent overseas tour of presidentiness:

Karl No-Show Rove

As you know, Mr. Defiant was a no-show yesterday on Capitol Hill, so I penned a poem in honor of a man who knows all the Bush skeletons personally:

Cat from Iran: a limerick

There once was a cat from Iran

who got hot and turned on a fan

it wasn’t enough

to cool off his fluff

so atoms were split in Tehran.

He worked long and hard on the splits

while George threw incompetent fits

by acting so proud

no weapons allowed

or sanctions will come in a blitz.

So who gave the arms race it’s start?

who played the gargantuan part?

America’s clout

could take the world out

but that wouldn’t be very smart.

political vacation: family in from out of town

After last evening’s phone call from an offspring, I suddenly discover that family (see photo) will be descending from out of town this evening. This is good news for us, not so good news for my blogging habit.

And yet there is a political poem just penned….an open poem to the next president, no matter who the globalists decide to install in the White House. They are, as we know, the Deciders–yet still I must ask:

In Politics it’s always good

to keep yourself misunderstood

campaign Atlantic to Pacific

just don’t be over specific

play your cards close to your chest

and don’t reveal your fondest quest

until you’re in then none can fuss

(it’s not as if you’re one of us)

so hold fast to your power dreams

ignore it when your nation screams

we’re undermined and oversold

and wonder where you’ve put our gold

In Politics it’s pocket-lining

power’s sun is always shining

White House turning shades of gray

so how much more is there to say

except will you be friend or foe?

Constituents would like to know.

owning the US government

“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the US since the days of Andrew Jackson.” –Franklin D. Roosevelt

And they’re squeezing it dry 2008 as transiting asteroid King Midas hooks up with the Great Neptune/Pluto Conjunction in the ‘Generation of Materialism’ birth chart (1892) of the Robber Baron class infesting industry, energy, and finance (7-8 Gemini) and we now have ringside seats for observing the rotten outcome from these hubristic social tinkerers.

Here’s a rhyme for Barack Obama’s campaign and VP vetting woes:

Past CEO of Fanny Mae Obama’s vetting done
it’s best to move along your way for races must be won!

jc 6.11.08 (Johnson’s resignation accepted)

Uh oh! another silly poem has occurred, this one for John McCain who’s So Not like George Bush, he’d have us believe, and yet he reminds me of SomeOne ruthless and reformist in a police state kind of way…this verse may not be groanworthy enough for the discerning but at least it’s briefer than the Bush tenure…

McCain McCain our oft’ refrain
what wars will you promote?
don’t plan attacks
to knife our backs
while reading My Pet Goat.

Bubbly Bubbles for Obama!

Wonder if it’s premature to send this bottle of bubbly bubbles to Barack Obama for today’s historic attainment?

image: Celebrate! by jude cowell; drawn for 2000′s New Millennium, but today being sent out with congrats and best wishes to the Obama campaign folks along with a small rhyme from this cautious Capricorn who hearts America and frets on behalf of the common good:

 

Be careful what you wish for

you may just get it all

remember what your Mama said

pride comes before a fall.
